<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hasselblad</strong> <strong><strong>503CW</strong>D</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>503CW</strong>/<strong>CFV</strong>
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hasselblad</strong> <strong><strong>503CW</strong>D</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>503CW</strong>/<strong>CFV</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hasselblad</strong> V System’s <strong>503CW</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong><strong>503CW</strong>D</strong> cameras provide a solid<br />
entry into advanced digital photography.<br />
Whether choosing the <strong><strong>503CW</strong>D</strong> <strong>and</strong> its<br />
integrated 16 million pixel digital capture<br />
or the combination of a <strong>503CW</strong> <strong>and</strong> a<br />
<strong>CFV</strong> back, you get the same superior<br />
quality, ultimate flexibility, <strong>and</strong> no<br />
compromises.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 503 platform combines the utmost<br />
in traditional photographic quality with<br />
the latest technological advances <strong>and</strong><br />
features a range of functions, such as<br />
winder capability with remote release,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the V System’s range of renowned<br />
high performance, central shutter based<br />
lenses, making these cameras ideal for<br />
advanced digital photography – either on<br />
location or in studio.<br />
Small box, large features.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 503 camera also boasts a sturdy,<br />
mechanical construction with a robust,<br />
one piece aluminum alloy body, making<br />
it ideal for the often-dem<strong>and</strong>ing world of<br />
daily professional use. <strong>The</strong> 503 cameras<br />
provide TTL flash metering, power<br />
winder/IR remote options, <strong>and</strong> compatibility<br />
to accessories past <strong>and</strong> present.<br />
Using <strong>Hasselblad</strong>’s renowned central<br />
shutter lenses, these cameras provide<br />
almost vibration-free operation, quiet<br />
exposure, <strong>and</strong> flash sync at all shutter<br />
speeds, up to 1/500 sec. <strong>The</strong> innovative<br />
GMS (Gliding Mirror System) produces a<br />
bright, full viewfinder image with virtually<br />
all <strong>Hasselblad</strong> lenses <strong>and</strong> remote capability<br />
means you can operate the camera<br />
from anywhere in the studio.<br />
Full flexibility.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>503CW</strong>/CWD cameras can also<br />
use any of the V System’s interchangeable<br />
film magazines, a helpful feature in<br />
extreme temperatures or when batteries<br />
run low. <strong>The</strong> camera also accepts<br />
se veral types of viewfinders, enabling<br />
you to choose a style of shooting that<br />
works for you or for a specific situation.<br />
In addition, the built-in flash control<br />
system (TTL/OTF) helps turn flash<br />
photography into child’s play, measuring<br />
the light reflected off the film surface<br />
<strong>and</strong> automatically controlling the flash<br />
to provide the perfect exposure, regardless<br />
of the lens focal length or lighting<br />
conditions.

<strong>The</strong> first step to<br />
perfect images.<br />
<strong>The</strong> V System offers the largest range of<br />
superior quality lenses of any professional<br />
format system, boasting lenses with<br />
unrivalled specifications. All lenses use<br />
high performance, central lens shutters,<br />
making them stabile, quiet, <strong>and</strong> particularly<br />
useful for flash work at fast shutter<br />
speeds, delivering correct captures at<br />
flash sync speeds up to 1/500 sec.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>503CW</strong> <strong>and</strong> CWD are compatible<br />
with the entire range of <strong>Hasselblad</strong> central<br />
shutter lenses, from 30 to 500 mm<br />
in focal length. All lenses feature T* antireflection<br />
coating <strong>and</strong> internal stray light<br />
reduction to produce unbeatable image<br />
contrast <strong>and</strong> color saturation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>CFV</strong> 16 Mpix Digital Back.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hasselblad</strong> <strong>CFV</strong> digital back is<br />
designed expressly for the <strong>503CW</strong><br />
camera, but can turn most existing<br />
<strong>Hasselblad</strong> V System cameras into a<br />
digital workhorse, including the 905SWC<br />
<strong>and</strong> wide angle cameras.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>CFV</strong> back is custom designed to<br />
match the appearance <strong>and</strong> functionality<br />
of the <strong>Hasselblad</strong> V System cameras<br />
<strong>and</strong> uses a square format 16 megapixel<br />
sensor that is 50% larger than even<br />
the largest 35mm DSLRs. In addition,<br />
the sensor used provide more pixels –<br />
for better resolution – <strong>and</strong> larger pixels,<br />
which means less image noise, better<br />
dynamic range, <strong>and</strong> improved detail,<br />
especially in highlight <strong>and</strong> shadow areas.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Hasselblad</strong> <strong>CFV</strong> combines timeless<br />
design with modern technology,<br />
featuring powerful digital workflow tools<br />
such as <strong>Hasselblad</strong>’s Instant Approval<br />
Architecture (IAA), an enhanced set of<br />
feedback tools designed to drastically<br />
simplify the image selection process,<br />
<strong>and</strong> direct conversion to Adobe’s DNG<br />
format.<br />
Other advanced features include<br />
<strong>Hasselblad</strong>’s new Natural Color<br />
Solutions <strong>and</strong> 3F RAW file format,<br />
a choice of three separate storage<br />
modes (choosing freely between the<br />
ultimate portability of a CF card, the<br />
ultra-fast 100 GB Image Bank, or<br />
tethered computer hard drive operation<br />
with extended controls), <strong>and</strong> compatibility<br />
with other view cameras using a<br />
V System interface plate.<br />
Ultra fast storage with 100 GB Image Bank.
